I'm pre-cropping some wallpaper/ backgrounds for my PocketPCs with VGA screens.

I cropped them at 480x640 but then realized that the Start bar and bottom bar overlay and block the full image. Irritating...

I want to pre-crop them. 480 is obviously correct for X and I'm assuming Y will probably be a resolution of less than 600ish?

I'm gonna have to toy around and see if I can nail the exact resolution of the viewing area.

Three images detailing the issues with setting an image as wallpaper on a PocketPC. Picture 1 shows the full 480x640 image. Picture 2 shows that you have to select an area to be displayed because... In picture 3 we see that the top Startbar and bottom bar are overlayed on top of the image thus blocking out parts of it.

I could tell this would be another #pda episode where I’d have to spend ages coaxing her out of bed, encouraging her to get ready etc, and I just didn’t have the spoons for it. When she still hadn’t budged after half an hour I went up to the bedroom and told her I’d go by myself - and so I did. Got back at 6pm to find her still in bed with baby A. I was exasperated. More house stuff needed sorting before the week kicks off again. I couldn’t deal with her so I went to bed at 7.

C and her two boys’ #pda is severely testing my patience. Just accommodating the children uses up all of my compassion and patience… and then when she gets going I have nothing left. She was procrastinating over a really important health task yesterday morning, that needed immediate action, and which only she could do. I held it together for a while before eventually losing my shit.

I mentioned earlier that I have this weird thing where sometimes I can't do things that I need to do. I had a period of three months where I wouldn't check my payslips, even though I needed to in case I got underpaid. I have frequent periods where I can't check my emails. This is especially if I've emailed someone I'm not close to and am expecting a reply.

As example is if I received faulty goods on Ebay. I've missed out on refunds because I send the complaint, but then I actively avoid checking for a reply.

Does anyone else experience things like this? I was looking at demand avoidance: autism.org.uk/advice-and-guida

But I don't know if it's that or some weird manifestation of #anxiety. The best I can describe it is apprehension? It's hard to put a proper name to it. I get milder forms, where for instance if I need to transfer money to my savings and there's nothing stopping me, but I won't be able to do it. Then randomly I'll snap out of it and feel like I can do it. It's not procrastination or getting distracted. It's a different feeling from that.

www.autism.org.ukDemand avoidanceResistance to demands is a characteristic experienced by and observed in some autistic people. It is sometimes labelled as Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), but there is debate about the evidence for and usefulness of this label.
